Could not link the SDK on react-native 0.59

[annakocheshkova]

Description

Note: Opening this issue to track the problem a customer has run into while installing our SDK in an app with react-native installed using cocopods.

---

Created a github repo here that recreated my issue where installing AppCenter on a react-native project that is using cocoapods. Official React-Native instructions on how to install React-Native using Cocoapod is located here.

I tried several attempts but no success:

• Manually linked AppCenter (avoiding cocoapod), but ran into issues locating RN header files.
• Modified appcenter.podspec file that is referenced in the PodFile. Pod install failed with "target has transitive dependencies that include static binaries:" Modified the appcenter.podspec in node_modules and added s.static_framework = true, and the pod install ran without issues. But when I built the workspace, it couldn't find <AppCenter/AppCenter.h>. I stopped at trying to create a podspec for AppCenterReactNativeShared and add s.static_framework = true there instead of appcenter.podspec.

Could you also please confirm if you've followed these steps ?

@annakocheshkova It's almost the same step except I had to manually convert the project from manual to CocoaPods. < 0.59's react-native --init doesn't use CocoaPod.

[annakocheshkova]

Got it @markmadlangbayan. What issues have you run into after performing those steps?

@annakocheshkova , please close the case. I was in touch with Vyas at the AppCenter support and determined that this has something to do with use_framework! support.

@markmadlangbayan You know if there is any way to deal with the error that is occurring with the use_framework! flag?. Because I need it

@JuanSeBestia, I haven't tested yet, but RN 0.61.0 should have this fix. https://github.com/facebook/react-native/releases/tag/v0.61.0 .

Let me know if that works.

[JuanSeBestia]

Not work :/
I know that in RN 0.61.0 it's "solved", I use RN 0.61.2 but when import your modules and use use_frameworks!, the error "it couldn't find <AppCenter/AppCenter.h>" appear
